Map of Regions

Figure App.F.12.17.new. A map showing the locations of spring season net samples by CalCOFI for use in analyses of abundance and trends in pelagic resources. Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary region (red) includes CalCOFI stations inside and adjacent to CINMS; and Southern California Shelf (yellow) includes all CalCOFI stations over the shelf.

Larval fish, cool-water species

CINMS Region
SoCal Shelf Region

Figure App.F.15.5. A figure showing the relative abundance (how common or rare a species is) of cool-water associated (top) and warm-water associated (bottom) fish larve around the Channel Islands and the Southern California Shelf from 1974 to 2015.

Larval fish - Mean Species Richness

CINMS Region

Figure App.F.15.6.a-b.. A figure showing the average number of different species of fish larvae collected in around the Channel Islands and the Southern California Shelf from 1978 - 2015.

Click for Details Mean species richness of fish larvae (ichthyoplankton) collected in net samples during spring CalCOFI cruises at sites in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS) region and over the Southern California Shelf from 1978 to 2015. Species richness is the number of species present in a net sample. Species richness tends to increase in El Niño years due to influx of central Pacific species to the shelf. Sampling sites are shown on Figure App.F.12.17. Symbols on the graph are explained in the caption for Figure App.F.12.18. Data source: CalCOFI; Figure: A. Thompson/NOAA
